Not only did I get to attend and listen to some great speakers but by an odd twist of fate I got to walk and talk with Marcus Buckingham on the way into the Convention Centre and he honoured me by calling me out in his keynote about the power of a personal story. A lifetime business-book-lover high for yours truly.

And most of all, I set up and got to interview my 2012 super-author Susan Cain for an upcoming article (stay tuned).
